Really didn't feel this one tbh. Lots of these ideas weren't put together very well and the emotion isn't really all that potent throughout. Revenge is a good song though, really enjoyed that one actually.
Fun, but a bit incoherent and overall not an album I’ll be going back to as a whole.
Kanye’s first masterpiece (MBDTF being the other). Incredible production, curation and rapping.
This was the first Kevin Abstract album I heard and I'm impressed. While a little all over the place, I think it comes together in the end to make an enjoyable album.

This album is not only a powerful piece of history, but a fantastically enjoyable album as well.
Elliott Smith's self titled is really dark, angry and depressing. The songwriting hits deep and his singing and guitar playing are as on point as ever.
Jeff Buckly's "Grace" is a fantastic album from front to back. From the soft vocals on the first track "Mojo Pin" to the belting on "Eternal Life", Buckly's range is constantly impressive and the instrumentation is constantly engaging and ready to match the atmosphere incredibly well.
While not Elliott Smith's most polished or creative endeavor, his debut gives a solid look into the potential that he would later realize on other releases.

Great album, Elliott Smith makes this albums 52 minute run time go by in a blink. I appreciate how this album manages to go more into the pop lane without ever feeling out of place for an artist like Elliott Smith. The best discography I have started listening to recently.

Elliot Smith's singing, songwriting and musicality all shine exceptionally in this album. The soundscape is incredible.
Fantastic production. This album shows how good of an artist redveil already is and how good he can still become. Excited for the new album!
